We'd have to bend over to pick it up, and since we might pull something that could lead to a workman's comp lawsuit, of which there are far too many of these frivolous lawsuits anyway, the envelope will never be pushed out of the box. I don't want to get fired.

Sounds like my office...all of the graphics at our place of work are so "branded" yet the designers must adhere to color, font and spacing guidelines, while at the same time being impeccably creative and thinking outside the branding box.

Why do you gotta be such a boxist? I think, in fairness, we should PULL the envelope outside the packing container.OR, let me see, let me see, hmmm, or, if, if... let's say the envelope is Zimbabwe... hear me out, hear me out... and the box is the G8 World Summit.... you see where I'm going here?That's right, the BOX IS BEING OPPRESSED by a multinational conspiracy to eliminate all boxes and box making materials!!!! Ahem... It's been a long weekend, have a heart.

Quite simple! We would get right out of the mess we are in! It is common for these idiots to say we must think and act like never before because we are confronting a new threat then the idiots prove incapable of doing that not solely but largly because they are incapable of unbiased individual thought and instead can think only on the party line. The world needs me and they must listen and of course they will not!

It's called think outside the box because the bosses want to remind you that own your cubicle-inhabiting ass. And when they fuck up (ala Enron), they "push the envelope" of blame in the form of an underwhelming severance package. Probably doesn't answer your question, but it's all I could think of.
